Verse 1:
2
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets
3
Shoutin' out some prophesies at everyone he'd meet
4
He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat
5
Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long ago
6
And more than that for no one seemed to know
7
Oscar was a walker; at least four miles twice a day
8
The entire lenght of Main Street he'd be shoutin' all the way
9
And I had no idea where he heard the things he'd say
10
But he was not your normal voice of doom;
11
It was a happy song sung slightly out of tune
12
Refrain:
13
And he'd say, "Everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels
14
someday and what you are in this world don't count for nothin' 'cause we are
15
only children, we're just lost along the way, but we will all be angels
16
someday"
17
Verse 2:
18
Well, I worked at the Rialto; I sold tickets at the door
19
And Oscar, he'd come by most everyday by half past four
20
And he'd pay to see some movie that he'd seen ten times before
21
But mostly we'd just let him in for free
22
Then he'd watch five minutes, then he'd come and talk to me
23
Refrain:
24
And he'd say, "Everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels
25
someday and what you are in this world don't count for nothin'. For we are only
26
children, we're just lost along the way, but we will all be angels
27
someday"
28
Verse 3:
29
Well, it's going on ten years now
30
Since I left my hometown
31
And I went back last summer
32
For a week I hung around
33
I looked out for Oscar, he was no where to be found
34
And someone said they finally had to commit him
35
And he died before they had time to forget him
36
Now, I'm not about to argue, Oscar's train had jumped the track
37
But I'll bet my last dollar on the plain and simple fact
38
Oscar never said a word about me behind my back
39
And the way that I was raised to understand
40
Well, that bone, it makes him the better man
41
Refrain:
42
And he'd say, "Everyone will die and go to heaven and we will all be angels
43
someday and what you are in this world don't count for nothin'. For we are only
44
children, we're just lost along the way, but we will all be angels
45
someday"
46
Yeah, we will all be angels someday
